| Bi-Wire Marakanetz: I've read your post three times and I think you had things backwards or confused. If you were running the speakers with the jumpers on you were not bi-wiring. (even if you were using Bi-Wire cables). The use of the jumpers negates any ... | |

| Nordost Solar Wind with high current amp? As a follow up, I basically agree with what Sean is saying, including his attempt to clarify analytical. I demo'd them in a smaller system in my home office (spare bedroom). | |
| Martin-Logan Descent or Rel Stadium Subwoofer Skip the Stratus III. It is a great sub for what it costs, but is a closed box design and does not go nearly as deep as the Storm III or the Stadium III (which is deeper still).I am not sure what Karls is saying. All REL subs have High-Pass adjust... | |
